Fun ride on the Como-Brunate Funicular to get to the Volta Lighthouse and see the beautiful panoramic views of Lake Como and the surrounding areas. I climbed the 143 steps of the Lighthouse to get the best views.

This exquisite Italian villa on the hillside above Menaggio has a remarkable history to learn about, a view over Lake Como to die for, and is a cultural centre for Germanic/Italian studies. Amongst other featured courses, they offer German language courses from time to time. The lovely hamlet of Loveno is a perfect location to wander around; lanes with ancient homes, parklands, fields and rivers, plus of course the parish church of Sts. Lorenzo and Agnes. All this and the lovely Villa Myllus Vigoni to discover once the Corona virus crisis is behind us. I really hope you enjoy it!

10. Villa Bernasconi
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 57 reviews
The villa is a beautiful example of Art Nouveau Architecture. Designed by architect Alfredo Campanini, it was built at the beginning of the XXth century for Davide Bernasconi, owner of the silk factory with the same name. The exterior facades are enriched with decoration like silkwarms, butterflies and mulberry leaves related to silk production. Villa Bernasconi is an innovative museum; the museum is a "talking house".
